Are some games not giftable?
I'm looking to gift a game (that I do not own on Steam; I own it on xbox) to a friend. My friend is (newly) in my friends list. I cart the game and find the dropdown for my account, my account private, or gift to a friend. However, the gift to a friend option is not present. The game is the Banner Saga Stoic Bundle (currently on a great sale; I highly recommend it)

If I go to another game I like that I do own on steam (wildermyth; also highly recommended, also on sale)) and scroll down the game listing to add to cart I find the gift option.

Are some games not giftable? Do I need to own my own copy in order to gift a game (that would be a weird requirement)?

Any other suggestions? About to just use venmo but that's not as fun.

Bundles are not always giftable. So that's why. In most cases, you have to buy the games/DLC separately for a gift.

Tailored bundles are not giftable. It is up to the publisher to set up their bundles/packages to not be tailored.

:nkCool:

Thank you for the replies. Somewhat dumb policy but I appreciate the help understanding the issue.

Not really. Bundles function in two ways, both based on what the buyer already owns. In one case they'll tell you that you won't get an extra copy of whatever you already own or won't let you buy, in the other it will apply a discount if you already own some of whatever's in the bundle.

Valve would have to fundamentally change things so you set up the gifting options before you reach the checkout stage so it would know what the recipient owns for this to function. Even then that raises issues around privacy, i.e. if somebody has set a game to private it would give away they own it against their wishes.
